The mission of the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is to provide reliable, low-cost utility and public services in partnership with our customers and communities and to use our leadership and environmental authority to ensure the protection and constructive use of the area's natural resources.

LCRA plays a variety of roles in Central Texas: delivering electricity, managing the water supply and environment of the lower Colorado River basin, developing water and wastewater utilities, providing public recreation areas, and supporting community and economic development.

Outdoor Education and Recreation Programs
LCRA's nature parks and natural science centers offer a diverse array of outdoor education and recreation programs. Most programs must be scheduled by schools, groups and organizations in advance. Some classes are offered at specific times and dates for individuals, families and groups.
